Pooja Yadav — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This paper makes an effort to understand how corporate social responsibility supports sustainable development goals. According to the National Determined Contribution, India needs 170 billion dollars per year to accomplish the sustainable development goals (SDGs) from 2015 to 2030. But there is a huge gap to meet this financial need. According to UNESCAP, Asia and the Pacific can achieve the SDGs by 2065 with the reported growth rate. To bridge that gap, spending on CSR can be a helpful option for governments. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is the way that organisations have an obligation to society aside from their own interests. India is one of the few countries that has regulations on corporate social responsibility for businesses. The reform of social capital was introduced by Section 135 on corporate social responsibility under the Companies Act, 2013. Sustainable development goals emerged as universal goals in a way to incorporate a common shared global look for a safe and sustainable place for all the people and future species on this planet. The sustainable development goals deal with not only considerable changes in the wellbeing of human life, economic development, and environmental safeguards but also how these effects have been enforced. They are clearly defined with 169 targets that are determined to be achieved by 2030. To know the impact of any institution on SDGs, it is important to measure its contribution in context with sustainable development goals.

Exploring the Link Between Personality and Social Intelligence: A Comprehensive Meta-analysis

Fauzia Razi — Tue, 25 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The study explores the relationship between personality traits and social intelligence through a metaanalytic
review of previous research. The study synthesises data from previous research studies that
have examined the relationship between personality traits and social intelligence. Personality traits are
defined as persistent and consistent patterns of cognitive processes, emotional expressions, and
behavioural manifestations that distinctly typify an individual and distinguish them from others. These
characteristics are commonly believed to exhibit a high level of stability over time and across various
contexts, and as such, they provide an explanatory framework for the consistency of human behaviour
and social intelligence, which means being able to recognise, comprehend, and handle one’s own
emotions and social interactions, as well as those of others. Personality traits are things about a person
that do not change much. They are how a person usually acts, thinks, and feels. The aim was to
synthesise the findings of prior studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of how personality
traits relate to social intelligence. The meta-analysis included 40 studies with a total sample size of
22,526 participants. The results indicated that certain personality traits, such as extraversion,
agreeableness, emotional stability, and openness, were positively correlated with social intelligence.
On the other hand, neuroticism was negatively correlated with social intelligence. The aforementioned discoveries bear significant ramifications for comprehending the function of personality traits in relation to social intelligence. The author proposes that individuals exhibiting greater levels of extraversion, emotional intelligence, openness, and agreeableness may possess enhanced abilities in discerning and navigating social exchanges. The present investigation’s results may have pertinent implications within the realms of education, leadership, and human resources, which place emphasis on social intelligence as a crucial competency. In general, this meta-analytic assessment furnishes compelling proof with respect to the connection between personality traits and social intelligence. The results of the study imply that personality traits hold substantial influence over the formation and manifestation of social intelligence. These findings have implications for the development of interventions and programs aimed at enhancing social intelligence. Overall, this meta-analytic review presents compelling evidence for the association between personality traits and social intelligence. The results demonstrate that personality traits can exercise a notable influence on the acquisition and manifestation of social intelligence.
